Unfortunately, Australia really is a sunburnt country. Despite
initiatives to promote skin cancer awareness, we still have one of
the highest rates of melanoma in the world. Slopping on 15+
sunscreen and slapping on a hat are two obvious ways to protect
ourselves from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays.

This is particularly important for children and teenagers, to
avoid problems later on in life, according to the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Research
Institute. Log on to the ABCs of Melanoma to learn more about
this malignant and deadly cancer.

This is the first search engine and directory we have come
across that specialises in cleaning equipment and services. Sifting
through its extensive database is straightforward.

First, type in the business name or select the appropriate
category. Everything from blinds and home-cleaning services to
swimming pool maintenance and vacuum cleaners are covered here.
Then enter your postcode and state, and the site will fire back
companies in your suburb that are able to supply the cleaning goods
or services you need.

You can limit the results to those businesses with email,
websites or retail outlets. The site also offers cleaning hints to
help you get a sparkling result, whether for the bathroom, the
kitchen or the floors.

With the Australian ski season fast approaching this site may
serve as a useful tool to mentally prepare you for the slopes.

This site links to hundreds of webcams in ski resorts around the
globe and you can quickly zoom in on any of them. After selecting
the country and region using the drop-down menus, the site provides
thumbnail pictures. Click on one to enlarge it. One moment you can
be gazing at Adelboden, Switzerland; the next, the Cardrona Resort
in New Zealand.

Youngsters might like to build a digital collage using this
online art tool. The site takes some time to load if you're using a
dial-up connection. You simply open up the various picture
collections and then drag items onto a work pad.

The options are endless - you can put a hammerhead shark on top
of the Taj Mahal or an ant getting stuck into a hamburger. Then
print out the collage and impress your friends.

Every now and then it's good to log on to a site that caters for
gun aficionados, hunters and other National Rifle Association
members to get a clearer idea about how enthusiastic some people
are about such weapons.

Sure, it won't make you sleep any easier knowing that Gallery of
Guns is running a promotion such as the Great Gun Giveaway, but
nonetheless this US gun wholesaler is an eye-opener. You might like

Michael Moore's anti-gun documentary, Bowling for Columbine.
